ORGANISING THE ROLE OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

At Group Level, a Sustainable Development Department, which reports to the Managing Partners, coordinates a Steering Committee composes of the CSR managers from each business line and representatives from several cross-functional departments. The Committee is chaired by the Group's Chief Human Relations, Communications and Sustainable Development Officer, who is also a Co-Managing partner of the Lagardère Group. The Committee is in charge of devising the Group's CSR strategy and action to be undertaken, and liaising with the different stakeholders.

The Group's divisions are independent and autonomous, and each has its own CSR policy led by a Sustainable Development/CSR manager, who coordinates the networks of internal correspondents or forms local steering committees. Generally, each business line draws on the relevant departments for the environmental priority concerned (e.g., use of paper, energy consumption etc.) including the purchasing, technical, office management, financial, legal and human resources departments.
